Out and About!

MetroEnjoy the glorious weather this weekend and get out and about! Here are a few ideas of places you may like to visit. Don’t forget to pack the suncream!

Leeds – Take a ride on Middleton Railway; the world’s oldest continuously working railway. After a ride on the railway, take a steady stroll through Middleton Woods which covers an area of 630 acres, of which 200 acres are ancient woodland.

Bradford – Cool off at Ilkley Lido – outdoor swimming pool! With temperatures set to be higher than 20 degrees this weekend, Ilkey lido will be the perfect place to cool down!

Calderdale – For a great day out, visit Shibden Estate. Discover the history, environment and fun activities such as The Hall, The Folk Museum, The Miniature Railway, The Boating Lake and lots more!

Kirklees – Visit Charlotte’s Real Jersey Ice Cream Parlour this weekend for a real taste of summer! Charlotte’s Ice Cream Parlour make their own ice cream from their Jersey Cows who graze on the lush grass of Whitley. With over 30 flavours of ice cream available, which one will you choose?

Wakefield – Why not head to Yorkshire Sculpture Park this weekend and see the first major UK exhibition of sculpture by Joan Miró, one of Europe’s most important 20th century artists.
